Manukau Race 1

Railway Sprint Heat 1 Pbd

Stake: $4,000

EVEREST SKY (3) Did a good job when winning last start at Addington. Should come to hand quickly. Racing consistently this prep. Can have an impact. SMOKING IVAN (5) Not in contention when 4th last run here. Should bounce back. Should be swooping on the field late. Is in good order and can run well. BIG TIME LENA (7) Good result placing 3rd last start around here in 18.39s over 318m and have to respect the form at the distance. Will be positive in the run early. Marginal hopes. BIG TIME TACTICS (8) Ran 5th last run at Cambridge. Can make a comeback and gets a favourable trap. Exhibiting good form since coming back from a spell. Should get going late. Follow market leads.

Was outmuscled when 3rd last start around here in 18.39s over 318m and suited at this distance in the past. Should muster plenty of early speed. Place best.
